KYN Announces Name Change to Kayne Anderson MLP/Midstream Investment Company

HOUSTON, July 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kayne Anderson MLP Investment Company KYN ("KYN" or the "Company") announced today that the Company changed its name from Kayne Anderson MLP Investment Company to Kayne Anderson MLP/Midstream Investment Company. KYN previously announced its intent to change its name in February 2018 when the Company announced the proposed merger with Kayne Anderson Energy Development Company KED.

"We believe this change is consistent with recent trends in the midstream sector, with an increasing amount of midstream assets being held by Midstream Energy Companies that are not structured as MLPs" said Kevin McCarthy, the Company's Chairman and CEO. "Changing the Company's name increases its flexibility to invest in securities issued by all types of Midstream Energy Companies."

The Company, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), will begin trading under its new name July 31, 2018. It will continue to trade under the ticker symbol KYN.

Kayne Anderson MLP/Midstream Investment Company is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose common stock is traded on the NYSE. KYN's investment objective is to obtain a high after-tax total return by investing at least 85% of its total assets in energy-related partnerships and their affiliates (collectively, "MLPs"), and in other companies that, as their principal business, operate assets used in the gathering, transporting, processing, storing, refining, distributing, mining or marketing of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined petroleum products or coal.
